I just recently got an MTI-1200 Fotonic sensor from my local university and was wondering if anyone knew anything about these things! This one has a single channel installed and light comes out of the probe at the end, and it powers on, auto-zeroes and everything. I have no idea how to test it further. Anyone have any ideas?
Furthermore, anyone have any idea as to how much one of these is worth in used condition? I see some on eBay currently for quite a bit of money and I really have no idea how much this thing would go for.
It is used similarly to a
dial indicator, to measure deflection such as runout in a bearing or eccentricity in a gear. You could put the probe in a clamp and aim it at a rotating object such as a drill chuck. As the object rotates, its runout will vary the distance to the probe, which should appear on the instrument's output.

Oh gotcha, cool! Thanks, I'll see if I can give that a try at some point soon!
